Dr. Summer entered the Chili Cookoff for the first time in 2009.  He placed second in the popular vote.  He again placed second in 2010.  He made some changes to the recipe, and at the 2011 contest, he won FIRST PLACE for the popular vote, AND FIRST PLACE for the judges vote!  That is some ROCKIN' chili!  He has now retired from competition, but still makes a pot for the staff each Fall.
